History of English Gematria

English Gematria, while not as ancient as its Hebrew and Greek counterparts, emerged as Western esoteric traditions began applying numerological principles to the English alphabet. The system using multiples of 6 (A=6, B=12, etc.) became popular in modern occult circles during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Unlike traditional gematria systems that evolved naturally with their respective languages, English Gematria was deliberately constructed by numerologists and occult practitioners. The choice of 6 as the base value has symbolic significance in various mystical traditions, representing harmony and balance.

Aleister Crowley, a prominent occultist, helped popularize various forms of English Gematria in the early 20th century through his writings on ceremonial magic. The incremental system (multiples of 6) gained further traction in New Age circles during the 1960s and 1970s.

Today, English Gematria is used by numerologists, modern mystics, and those interested in finding hidden connections between words and concepts. While not historically rooted in ancient traditions like Hebrew Gematria, it has become a valuable tool for contemporary spiritual exploration and word analysis.
